How to play
- A short French sentence is hidden behind a cipher — every letter has been consistently swapped for another, and you can play it as often as you like in a French voice as your clue.
- Tap a coded letter on the board, then tap the real letter you think it stands for; your guess fills in every place that code appears.
- To keep it approachable, every vowel is filled in for you from the start — so you only need to crack the consonants — and you can spend a hint to reveal one more.
- Crack each sentence to hear it spoken again, then move on to the next one for the high score.

How does a cryptogram work?
Each letter of the alphabet is replaced by a different letter, the same way every time. By spotting common French letters and short words you work out the substitutions and reveal the hidden sentence.
What sentences are used?
Short, everyday French sentences, each recorded in a French voice. Hearing the sentence is your clue, so you practise listening and spelling together.
